Check it out here: MotorTrend Reviews SRT Viper

Beast. That's really all that needs to be said about it. The Viper is the most hostile sports car this side of TVR. But the new one is SUPPOSED to be more civilized. Is it though? MT finds out.

This is so silly, it's laughable...

So now cars have to be scary? What are we - stuck in the '80s?

So now the ZR-1 is the car that is fast, too easy to drive, and good on paper? What have we come to?

Stupid articles... They make everything that is already shiny and new look shiny and new. News flash - high HP in a RWD has been done before. The ZR-1 did it - very well.

You want scary? Get a Shelby AC Cobra.

 

Of course, the original Viper team had the Cobra as the 'model' that it was aspiring too...that is what all the Viper purists still want, a real hair raising ride, while SRT wants to keep the brand alive with more sales (which means more civilized and better looking than the last model with a better interior). I am surprised about negative 'seat' comments since you would never hear such a comment about an F40 or Challenge Stradale...

 

It is in the shoddy car reviewers thesaurus under Viper, along with not daily drivable, and bad exhaust note. I have no idea where they find these guys, I daily drove my viper's for years and astonishingly I am still alive and my feet are in one piece.

The 2013 is SRT trying to make a car that will sell outside of the the Viper faithful, and while I am a little off put by the cost the creature comforts will go a long way to keep the car alive.
